Even if you look like a horny chickennnnnnn or have your face obscured with floaty clooooooooooooooothhhhh.
So, the photos this week… Wear a scarf on your head and resemble Tyra before she goes to bed, apparently-
Picture this, plus a head scarf.
Don’t worry… the shots are much prettier than this. ALSO, THEY WERE SHOT BY MIZ BANKS HERSELF! Now, as much as I like to rag on Tyra for any and everything, she has proven time and time again that she can take decent pictures. So, I’d say that most of these, except for one, are all quite good. Starting with-
Rae-
I know the judges said that she could ‘put a chill on a popsicle’ (okay, Miss. J said that, as if you couldn’t already tell), but I think this shot is downright angelic. Rae looks otherworldly. And she also is rocking the high fashion cancer chic look. Stunning photo.
Nicole-
The fact that she hasn’t gotten a first call out yet seriously bugs me, because she looks amazing YET again. She is by far the most consistent contestant of the cycle, and this picture rocks. It’s not a beauty shot, but it’s so pretty… that jutting clavicle, the weird hands, the pouty lips… AND I CAN’T EVEN BE ACCUSED OF BIAS BECAUSE HER HAIR IS COVERED. AND SHE STILL LOOKS AMAZING!
Erin-
She’s getting bitchier by the day but she continues to wow me with her amazing photos. This looks like a painting… the bend in the back is perfect… not too exaggerated, and her lack of eyebrows actually works quite well in this case. I’d say it’s a really awesome combo of ‘Bitch, I was showering, why’d you walk in on me’ and demonic. Work it out, new member of the stank club.
Brittany-
A huge improvement from last week, and undoubtedly ethereal and pretty, but the scarf covering her face doesn’t really suit my taste, personally. That’s really the only thing stopping this from being higher, since all her weird Angela-ish pointiness is put to rest at this angle.
Laura-
Call me crazy but does she resemble The Girl in the Pearl Earring to anyone else? There’s something so pretty about this… it’s very innocent. I love the carefree vibe the wind brings to the shot.
Sundae-
Congratulations Sundae! You finally took a good shot! Of course, it was one where your body played no part whatsoever! This is really simple and pretty, which I like a lot. Her face reminds me of Aminat’s a bit, but an itty bitty version.
Kara-
This is a MAJAH step down for my girl Kara after last week’s example of badassery. I still don’t think there’s anything majorly wrong with it (and I don’t get the ’she looks handsome’ thing they were laying on thick when discussing her boyish girlishness)… It’s just less dynamic than the other shots, that’s all.
Biyanka-
Congratulations Biyanka! Your last shot and you aren’t in the bottom 2. The real issue is the same issue that’s been coming up involving all her photos since the original promo. Biyanka is one SEVERE looking lady. And in a shoot with the potential to be so ethereal and beautiful (and the colors look amazing, it should be noted), she just looks way too harsh. I do like the way the scarf floats around her like a colored wind… Purdy stuff.
Ashley-
I love the way the blue scarf looks like fire… It’s really a stunning color. Too bad that Ashley is bringing NOTHING to the picture. She’s literally just standing there making the same tight-lipped half smile that we saw in her horse and elongating photo. Totally blah, which sucks, cuz it could have been so good.
Forest-
AND SO IT BEGINS… The judges ranked this monstrosity SECOND. OVER RAE. OVER NICOLE. OVER EVERYONE ELSE EVER. OH MY GOD. I am so sure that this wonky eyed bitch is our winner now, because the judges are trying to trick the audience into thinking that this horrendous picture is ACTUALLY GOOD?!?! Seriously, I’m secretly glad it exists because even my photo critiques were bland this week but this picture just makes all sorts of negative feelings explode from inside. WHAT?!?!!? IS?!?!?!? THIS?!?!!??%$@?%@/ She’s pretty much scalping herself… She has a worse wind tunnel face than the Reptilian Queen Teyona. OH MY GOD, I CAN’T BELIEVE SHE WAS PRAISED FOR THIS PICTURE. SECOND WORST SHOT OF THE CYCLE, AFTER BIYANKA’S RUPAUL FEST ON THE HORSE. SEE, I CAN’T STOP SHOUTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Picture this, plus a head scarf.”
That. Is. Hot.
“Don’t worry… the shots are much prettier than this.”
*SCOWL*
RAE – Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it IS otherwordly! I’m not a huge fan of her giant forehead, and it’s all accentuated here, but I guess it works. Her face is just amaaaazing.
NICOLE – OH. MY. GOD. If this was just a headshot, it would be preeeeeeeeeeety much my fave pic ever. Her body looks sexy and all <3 and on its own would make a great pic, I just don't think the scantily clad thing goes together well at ALL with the head and overall style of the shot. But man, from like the chest up…this is loooooooooove.
ERIN – THAT'S AWESOME! Her lack of eyebrows is still creeping me out, but like you say, it's painting like, and it's effing gorgeous. I love her face, and I looooooooove her hand…I'm liking her neck and ear as well
BRITTANY – OMG, SHE'S AMAZING! I can get why someone wouldn't like the face covering thing, but I think it makes the shot unique and interesting and doesn't obscure the face at all. Looooooooove it. What a face she has.
LAURA – Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I love everything about this shot, EVERYTHING…except her face
How did someone so hot end up looking so plain?! She should have nailed this shot with her hotness! WHA' HAPPENED?! Still, love everything else about it, what a body she has, and I love that little bit o' hair showing out the side of the scarf there, dunno why. She doesn't look UGLY in the face…just really normal and plain and stuff.
SUNDAE – Yes, this is HOT, but it's not hard to be hot, she's not even at some weird angle like Rae was, she's literally just standing there, so I agree with the ranking. It's a great pic, a GREAT, GREAT pic, just really uninteresting. Despite that odd squint, I think she looks BETTER than Aminat.
KARA – Hmmmmmm. I'm up and down on this. I think she looks pretty, despite looking undeniably like a man, she's a very pretty man, with amaaaaaaazing eyes, but I hate shots of women like this that show you the whole clavicle area and then cut off before you get to the good stuff, it makes it look…I dunno, sort of like they're sagging. I do like her arm, her little angle, it's just another that I'd probably like a lot more if it was a head shot.
BIYANKA – Oh wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Her body looks amaaaaaaazing, I love her pose, and I actually think she doesn't look totally manly for a change! She actually looks sort of womanly, but like you say, WAY harsh, look at that mouth, it's almost like a snarl, I'm sure she could have softened it up a little bit.
ASHLEY – OMG, THIS IS AN AMAZING PICTURE! I mean okay, she's not really doing anything, but there's nothing for her to do that wouldn't be overdoing it and ruining the picture, she just has to look pretty, and boy, look at them eyes, I like the tight lipped half smile here
I think it's gorgeous.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL – I JUST LOOKED AT THAT AND I THOUGHT! CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON?! IS THAT CHOW YUN FAT?! OH NO, IT'S JENNIFER! OMG! I actually like the body a lot, it looks great, but the arms and the head?! WHAT THE HELL?! HOW IS THAT GOOD?! SOMEBODY PLEASE EXPLAIN! SHE'S OVERDOING IT, AND SHE'S NOT EVEN NATURALLY OVERDOING IT, SHE LOOKS STIFF! AND HER FACE ISN'T DOING ANYTHING! SHE ISN'T DISPLAYING ANY KIND OF EMOTION TO GO WITH THE OTT ARMS OR BODY, SHE'S JUST GOT HER FUCKING MOUTH OPEN! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I LOOOOOOOOOOOVED THIS SHOOT…until now.
Great shoot (except that last one)! These girls have really got something (except that last one)! Tank you for another flawless week of Euphoria!

The one thing that is disapponting me is how they are treating Sundae as a filler girl. I mena she not only wins the challenge and gets her picture on the covergirl site of walmart, but she finally takes a stunning picture. Oh yeah, bottom 4 fershur
And i’m on the fence about jennifer’s. I like her body, and her eyes, but the teeth and her claw are distracting. I wish we saw the one where she was all sexy chicken instead, at least then she’d be giving a distinct emotion.
Also HEYYY i actually left youa comment here so you cna feel the love
in the not rape sort of way, just so we’re clear.
